Mushroom & Caramelized Onion Burger
This mushroom and caramelized onion burger combines Galbani® Fresh Mozzarella and shredded Mozzarella with seasoned beef or turkey. The onions develop a deep sweetness as they cook, while the mushrooms and melted mozzarella create a rich, savory topping for the burger. Served on a toasted roll with your favorite condiments, it’s perfect for summer cookouts, game day, or casual dinners.
-
8 oz. Galbani® Fresh Mozzarella Ball, cut into pieces
-
4 oz. Galbani® Mozzarella, shredded
-
4 Tbsp. olive oil
-
1 lb. button mushrooms, sliced
-
1 large sweet onion, cut in 1/4 inch slices
-
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
-
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley, minced
-
6 hamburger rolls
-
salt and pepper
Preheat broiler or grill.
In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, season to taste, and cook for 10 minutes. Reserve.
Add remaining olive oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium low. Add onion, season to taste, and cook, stirring often until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, hand shredded mozzarella, salt, pepper, and parsley. Gently form the burger mixture into 6 patties. Grill or broil patties for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Top each burger with caramelized onions, a slice of mozzarella, and sautéed mushrooms. Wait until cheese is melted, and then serve on a roll with your favorite condiments.
- Any mushroom works great in this recipe — button, crimini, portabella, or shiitake — so use whichever kind you like best. For a lighter, healthier burger, substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
